Alberta & Albertans Captured
View allAll Photos Tagged alberta
It is a rare that I don't remember exactly where I was when I see a photo that I have taken but I don't remember the details for this shot. I guess I was totally blown away by the stunning scenery.
We must have been on the highway heading south from Canmore, near Banff, Alberta to Waterton, Alberta. The Rocky Mountains to the west and rich agricultural land in the foreground.
We need to be good to our planet so we can thrive and live on it longer. I had so much to do today, fixing fences, harrowing (tilling land), yard cleanup, and getting the garden ready for planting.... It felt good to get lots of these earthly things done.
Thank you for all the comments and faves, my friends. Stay safe and have a wonderful weekend!
The stunning Canadian Rocky Mountains immediately give way to farming and ranching in south western Alberta. This photo reminds me of the emblem of Alberta which depicts a blue sky, snow capped mountains and a wheat field. This photo is taken just north of Waterton Lakes National Park.

Some interesting facts about the Black-Necked stilt:
They feed in both salt and fresh water on half webbed feet that allow them to swim, although they rarely do.
They have the second-longest legs in proportion to their bodies of any bird, exceeded only by flamingos.
-Himantopus mexicanus
Peyto Lake is such a glorious view, even on smokey days such as this one. The color of the lake is caused by glacier run-off and minerals. It is located right off the Icefields Parkway in Alberta, Canada.
It was a very special sunrise at Wedge Pond in Kananaskis Country. The clouds were thick and the colors amazing.

I tried a little panorama editing in Lightroom.
Also known as Wainwright bridge. Beautiful quiet area in smokey Alberta.
** This is my final shot of this most beautiful lake, its sadly missing the famous view of the “Valley of Ten peaks” that should be in the background of the shot, the peaks are hidden by thick low cloud . It was pretty disappointing not to see that iconic landscape at its best but the colour of the lake is still pretty incredible I used a tripod for this shot so I was at least able to keep the ISO fairly low I did not adjust the colour
Located in Banff National Park, about 8 miles from the town of Lake Louise, this glacier-fed lake is famous for its breathtaking turquoise waters, which get their colour from the refraction of light off rock flour (fine rock particles) carried by meltwater.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM

I followed this fella for nearly a mile along the highway, as it was digging for roots of some type of plant.
As seen by the roadside. I had some better photos but this was the nicest pose. Thanks to Jani Lee for seeing this @ 80km/hr.
